Salvador Perez<\/a> is continuing to build his Hall of Fame resume. However, with a two-year contract in place that ensures he is with the Royals through the 2027 season, Royals general manager J.J. Piccolo is more concerned with how his team will get the most out of the veteran catcher rather than preparing his bust for Cooperstown.<\/p>\n\u201cThese are these types of discussions that have been going on for a couple years. You can see we\u2019re cutting back on number of games that he would catch in the season. He was on pace to catch 75 to 80 games this year until the trade deadline,\u201d Piccolo said, referring to the deal the Royals made with the San Diego Padres to send catcher Freddy Fermin to the West Coast.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will be fluid. Generally speaking, you\u2019re looking like 80 games caught. You know that would be an ideal number,\u201d Piccolo continued. \u201cWe can put the point to some very objective data, saying, \u2018Here\u2019s what happens when you catch a day game. Here\u2019s what happens when you catch four games in a row.\u2019 Ultimately, we\u2019ll find the right sweet spot.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
